Abstract

Wounding of sugar beet tap-root causes an induction of invertase activity, which contributes to post-harvest sucrose losses. In this first comprehensive monitoring of wound-induced invertase mRNAs, proteins, enzyme activities, and tissue hexose concentrations, the VI isoform responsible for wound-induced hexose accummulation in mature tap-root could be identified.

Key words: Cell wall invertase, vacuolar invertase, sugar beet, tap-root, wounding.
